Build words on a mat
Give each child a CVC mat with three boxes. Say a word, and kids push a letter tile into each box as they say each sound. Then they read the whole word. Moving tiles makes every sound visible.
Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.
